PLGRA(3plplot)

💅 PLGRA — it's giving "switch to graphics screen" ✨

okay so real quick, this is the PLplot API page for PLGRA(3plplot), and honestly bestie, she's a short one but she's iconic.

🌸 NAME 🌸

plgra — switch to the graphics screen, no cap 🖼️

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

plgra()

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the vibe: plgra sets an interactive device into graphics mode. That's the whole assignment, and she ate. 💅

The way it's meant to be used is in conjunction with pltext(3plplot), so you can intersperse graphics and text like it's a little collage — graphics, text, graphics, text, main character energy the whole way through. 🎨📝

On a device that supports separate text and graphics windows, this command causes control to be switched to the graphics window. Slay. ✨

If you're already in graphics mode, this command is simply ignored. It is also ignored on devices which only support a single window, or which use a different method for shifting focus. So like… don't come for her if nothing happens, she's doing her best. 😭

See also pltext(3plplot) — they're literally a duo, you can't have one without the other fr fr. 🫶

Redacted form: plgra()

This function is used in example 1. 👑
